Blackbear

Well, let me say, first and foremost, that this is a concert I was already looking forward to. I've never been to a rap concert of any sort in my life, and I wanted to see my all-time favorite perform live. We got there relatively early, but still we're a little ways back in the line since the show had completely sold out! The opening acts--Lil Aaron, Elhae, 24hrs, DWN2EARTH, and the DJ--kept everyone hyped and entertained for an hour and a half with fun music, including even playing Party in the USA at one point. We met 24hrs and DWN2EARTH who were very sweet guys that even took pictures with us while trying to push through the crowd. Elhae even came down at one point.
Then once the opening acts were done, Blackbear was on stage and everyone was screaming. He started off with "hell is where i dreamt of u and woke up alone", the first track off "digital druglord". He then proceeded to follow the album order with "moodz". Getting everything hyped again, he proceeded with "i miss the old u" and went into "do re mi" which had everyone screaming and jumping in excitement. The only track off "digital druglord" that he didn't play was "chateau" which was a bummer, but other than that he effortlessly played the other tracks off the album. He did a mashup of songs off the "Drink Bleach" and "Cashmere Noose" EPs, and then had his guitar brought out so he could play some old music off "Deadroses", like "90210", and off "The Afterglow", like "Valley Girls". Since Jerry Good was with him, he also played "Slide Thru". Towards the end he played some of his new songs that are only on SoundCloud, like "bus it". He also played "idfc", "Shake Ya Ass", and "I Needed You". Blackbear was consistently grateful for the support of all of his fans, and truly excited to be in Cleveland. He kept an endless amount of energy and a strong voice, adlibbing with high notes that had just as much support as all the rest. The live saxophone player truly brought together a lot of the music, and made it a very fun show! Definitely worth the time and money!

Honestly I was so excited for this concert but it turned out to be a HUGE disappointment for me. I really tried to enjoy the show, but it was almost impossible. There were no opening acts, and the main act came on an hour late, then 20 mins into the show he took a break to get a cigarette. Also, i would have been okay with it if he could actually sing, but he really couldn’t. I could hardly make out what song he was playing each time and I know all his songs off by heart.
Blackbear was very careless about everything and everyone and was pretty rude to his fans. He purposely poured water all over the crown for no reason and he took a girl’s hat, put it on then threw it into the crowd. She then stayed at the door of the venue after the concert asking everyone if they’ve seen her hat. He didn’t even play for a total of 1 hour.
Not only was the performance a disappointment but the crowd was terrible. There was continuous aggressive pushing and shoving all throughout the show. I was getting elbowed in my back, other girls were getting their hair pulled etc. And I was pretty sure 80% of the audience was high / drunk. And the act seemed like he was high too. I usually would never ever leave a concert early but this one was one I HAD to leave early. I didn’t see a point of staying if no one was able to enjoy the “music”. Overall I wish I never spent 2 and a half hours waiting in the cold for the biggest disappointment of my life.

It was good; although, I did expect more songs coming from him as he was only on stage around the time of 1hour and 10mins as the supporting acts were on for much longer. He sang 'Hot girl bummer' twice which I thought was a bit of a let down because I expected more of his other songs such as 'g2g ttyl','rich white girls' etc. I also thought the merch could of looked a bit better and the bag straps which I bought along with the T-shirt which was inside the bag which the overall total was £30 came of my shoulder due to it being to thin and not secure enough to stay on. This resulted me loosing the bag and t-shirt which I was very gutted about as you can imagine. I wish the strap of the bag would of been a bit more thicker so it doesn't slide off your shoulder. Is it possible if I get a refund of the money I spent due to paying for the merch as the whole experience wasn't what I actually expected from him as I am a big fan of his music. However, I am glad I finally got to see him in concert but overall, slightly let down.

Honestly, it was a really good show per se. Blackbear is a really nice guy and he can really put the audience in a good mood. I mean he kept us waiting for quite some time before coming to the stage, but it was fine. The only thing i want to "complain" about is the fact that at the end of the last song he literally just disappeared and didn't say thank you or goodbye whatsoever. The crowd waited for a long time for him to come back because nobody really thought that he was just gonna leave like that, but unfortunately he did. All in all it was great show and i enjoyed it a lot!! (Maybe next time say something at the end of your show, it seems rude to just leave.)

Crowd were very violent and people in front of me were constantly getting crushed by people pushing forward as they were against a barrier.
Mosh pits were not too violent.
Blackbear himself was good however did a rock version of a few songs including 90210 and it took us a while to figure out what song he was actually singing.
He was not very thankful of the crowd and actually disappeared off stage while nyla was playing so he clearly wasn’t singing that himself.
All in all it was a good experience.

I love blackbear tons, but I won't be going to another concert of his. The audience was hostile, mean, and dangerous, and the overall atmosphere did not create a good experience. He sang well, but performance was lacking finesse. Openers and show structure was odd and did not contribute to his show. Still love blackbear as an artist, but the stress of being at the show in that crazy audience (not in a good way) was too much to justify the performance you got from the tour.

We arrived at around 7 and the cue was all around the venue still, we got in the the venue at 7.45 and the was a wait until 9.15 till black bear actually came on, so the wait was abit much. Blackbear was amazing! We had the best night, he was amazing he had the crowd really engaged, everyone was jumping and singing along. We had a really good night!! Blackbear is amazing

The concert overall was great. We arrived ca 20min before the doors opend and it started punctually. After the entry that was ca 30 min long , there was an hour long break where we just waited for blackbear to arrive and come on stage. He then proceeded to perform for about 50min.
But as I said before I think that it was worth it and it was a great experience overall.

Amazing concert, blackbear has great stage presence and energy, had the whole crowd dancing and singing along. Would def go see him again!! Love his music and him! As for the venue (The Trabendo, Paris) was super small and intimate, I was very close to the stage, so I could see super well, only bad thing was that it was standing room only, no seats anywhere.

Went to the concert for kygo and said that blackbear would be guesting there and I was totally stoked but went to the concert and waited for him to show but he never did but kygo and others were pretty amazing. I had always dreamt of seeing blackbear in concert but will see if anymore blackbear concerts are soon to be coming up near Toronto area.
